Video Explains “Everything You Need to Know About Planet Earth”

If you’ve ever wanted to know the history of our planet in a nutshell, the good folks at Kurzgesagt have you covered, and all you need is seven minutes.

Beginning from the origins of Earth in our universe, this wonderfully informative, well-illustrated video can give you its complete background – from a scientific standpoint at least. (None of this deity-created, 6,000-year-old, Adam & Eve baloney. I mean, come on: even beer has been around for 7,000 years. Though I suppose that could explain the current state of things.)

On top of the abundance of information, the clip’s language is simple enough for even a youngster to grasp, and there’s even a bit of humor thrown in as well. (I KNEW secret dinosaur societies existed!)

So if anyone has ever told you that cartoons make you dumber, shove this in their elitist, probably bespectacled faces.

And watch it yourself too, dummy. Don’t you know them cartoons will rot your brain and make you contradict yourself?
